I really wish Jet2 had a presence down here at BOH and maybe EXT to throw off both TUI and FR
I should imagine the CEO & the Board are very relieved that Jet2 are not having to face a 737MAX debacle as they did not buy any - In hindsight a wise move.
That sort of chaos now being faced by TUI, DY/D8 and other European charter airlines that have their new fleets grounded is crippling and could finish a smaller company off...
If Monarch was still here with their new Max's that would have been rather brutal...
What are Jet2's future fleet plans ? A320/A321neo's?
I see that the fleets of 737-700's of KLM and TUI are being retired, these will be well maintained - a nice little plane - 148 seats with long legs and great performance. One a/c that can get into GIB OK.
At Astraeus they could Egypt as far as Aswan non-stop with a full load, and also across the pond to Deer Park NF.
I don't see them launching the South West for quite a while and I think they'll find it uber competitive here.
